Yearning Love

THAT i have hidden my flesh away
 so no one touches it 
i cannot hide the soul of me 
without effort it rises upon 
its own

but the flesh speaks and yearns
to be with the remote love of you
there is nothing more to do
-- it is sheltered.

And yet, aside from Soul the rest
is a noisy child wishing food
and i tell the child:  
soon.  soon.
